                      G 
She said "You're terrible at stayin', 
             G 
Probably better that you're goin', 
          G                                     D 
All the love that you have stolen is a crime" 
     C                                   Bm       Em            D 
But I don't wanna lean on your piece of glass, just to fly. 

                      G                          G                 
She said "You're always looking inside, why not reaching outside, 
             G                                  D 
Put some focus on a picture perfect wife." 
              G 
I said "The earth is turning 'round, you know, 
       G 
The wind is changing also, 
               G                                           D 
Don't you think the same laws might apply to life?" 

      C                                  Bm       Em 
But I don't wanna lean on your wedding bell 
              D 
Fare thee well 
 C                                     Em 
I'll remain your friend till we meet again 
         C D  G 
In the twilight 
            G 
I said "Everything is blurry, 
             G                                        G 
I almost can't tell you apart from all the other girls 
                              D 
Except you don't complain." 
               G                                G 
She said "Better fix your vision but I prefer the precision, 
     G                                   D 
Of everybody looking much the same". 
     C                                     Bm  Em                      D       
But I don't wanna lean on your paper back, let's turn the page. 
C                                  Bm         Em 
I will cheer you on till your game dissolves 
         C  D  G 
In the twilight. 
Em                G      C 
Ooh, oh Magdaline,  
    G       C 
I love you, 
       G             D 
You think I'm insane, 
            A           Em        D 
Well I'm leaving on evening's train 
Em      G            C 
Ah, hey Madonna,  
         G              Em            D 
do the honors and pray for the day. 

G                        G    
Is the sun so selfish, because it will set now? 
G                                     D 
Is the wind a jerk because it change? 
                G 
Would you call the earth an asshole 
      G 
For turning 'round 'n' round you know, 
     G                                 D  
It never ever stays in just one place. 
      G                              G 
Now if I'm not mistaken, the natural equation would be, 
G                                       D 
You and I as best of friends for life. 
G 
Cross all your lines and numbers, 
        G 
And wake up from the slumber 
   G                                     D 
Into a dream of neither day or night. 

        C                                   Bm      Em 
Cause I don't wanna lean on your wedding bell, 
              D 
Fare thee well. 
C                                     Bm     Em 
I'll remain your friend till we meet again, 
         C  D  G 
In the twilight 
         C  D  G 
In the twilight
